Pennsylvania DHS pursues estate recovery against long-term-care MA recipients who were age 55 or older, covering nursing-facility services, home- and community-based services, and related hospital and prescription costs — but only for payments made on or after August 15, 1994.
The governing authorities DHS cites are 62 P.S. § 1412 and 55 Pa. Code Chapter 258, and recovery correspondence is directed through the county probate process.
